It’s an area of green belt forming a wildlife corridor (woodpeckers & barn owls) which fly from lower fields in the village accessing their hunting grounds above the bypass. The enormous disturbance (physical, light and noise) of resident wildlife including deer, rabbits, hedgehogs, voles, mice, shrews, bats, amphibia and a wide range of invertebrates.... if housing continues to encroach on green land rather than brownfield sites identified. A reduction/altering of any mature trees and inevitable drainage management will exacerbate this impact. The large volume of additional traffic will impact on air quality and health. The already over subscribed drainage system which frequently floods will also worsen. The significant visual impact on this dwelling with some loss of privacy. This development combined with the others does not take account of the limited resources offered by Addingham e.g. oversubscribed small primary school, doctors & recreation facilities for all ages (eg.cubs & brownies).

Development here will inevitably lead to the joining up of the houses east - west along the A65. The village does not have amenities for the type of population increase this will result in. The extra traffic alone will represent a safety issue. There are not enough school facilities in the area - pupils will probably find that extended travel will be required adding to traffic problems. Ilkley Grammar is oversubscribed now - where will pupils be expected to receive secondary education?

There are no exceptional circumstances to justify the use of this Greenfield Site, which is unsuitable for development for several reasons:
Excess Traffic Generation : Addingham is a commuter settlement with few employment opportunities and only a Primary School. There is no station and no direct bus service to Leeds/Bradford. 49 new dwellings would produce significant additional daily car journeys for work, education and retail reasons.
Access: The only access is along residential roads adding significant volume (see above) to a single junction onto the often congested Main Street.
Water Runoff and Sewage Volumes: Addingham facilities are already overwhelmed during heavy rainfall. 49 housees would make things worse.
Local Plan: Such a large development is at odds with the Neighbourhood Plan of 2020, agreed by the residents and recently adopted by BradMet.
Future Development: Serious risk of future unsustainable sprawl to the West

This site is both mixed PDL/greenfield and greenbelt and a development of 49 dwellings would mean an increase in traffic with all of the associated impacts of pollution and noise. It could also lead to further development on the fields to the west which would be disastrous.

The villages services are already stretched with not enough school place, doctors appointments recreational clubs like Cubs, beavers and brownies. Extra traffic will cause health concerns as well as making the already busy and dangerous St Paul’s Rise even busier with cars already parked on the road as many homes have more than one car thus meaning blind spots already exist. The green belt site is GREEN BELT, there are brown sites still ‘unused’. Drains are already over full and flood frequently. These fields are used by barn owls, deer, birds, bats , rabbits and other wildlife as a link from lower in the village to ‘hunting grounds’ higher up. Secondary school places at Ilkley Grammar are already stretched. More pressure on this oversubscribed school will push people elsewhere.

I object to essential beautiful green belt pasture land for housing. If these two sites Ad3/4 get the go ahead, sprawl will spread further west of Southfield Farm until it fills all of this precious chunk of greenbelt land north of the bypass (A65). This ancient pasture land, is bisected by two main walking routes out of the village to the Roman road The Street, Dales Highway, Millennium Way, Addingham Moorside and Addingham High Moor/Rombalds /Ilkley Moor. These routes would be negatively impacted by this massive overdevelopment.
This green space has been the saviour of many people's wellbeing and health. It should be something that planners actively try to promote for physical and mental health.
These fields are a wildlife haven with 'Mature trees and hedgerows along boundaries.- ecologically diverse site that you are potentially destroying. Barn owls which can be seen here on a daily basis at dusk.

My reasons for objecting to development on Parsons Lane are the same as those for Turner Lane.

My primary concern for development at this site is the resultant increase in the volume of traffic on Moor Park Drive and Moor Lane, thereby making it dangerous to cross the roads as well as creating noise pollution. The site is also a potentially important component of the village's green corridor, so that developing it may have detrimental effects on the local wildlife.

Area currently provides well established habitat for local wildlife in decline such as hedgehogs and barn owls. Demolishing this habitat shows disregard for the respected green spaces enjoyed. Local residents have used this area (especially more recently through Covid) for wellbeing to have access to the countryside. Additional housing would create a much greater flux in traffic which the local in-roads are not set up to support.

1. This is green belt land. Within the Bradford district there are brownfield sites that are not due to be developed. These sites should be prioritised for development.
2. Loss of habitat. An established breeding pair of Barn Owls live in the Ash tree in the adjacent field and this site forms a corridor for their hunting and feeding.
3. School capacity. Addingham Primary School is at capacity and has had a demonstrable over-subscription with already village-dwelling children in the last 3 years.
4. Road safety. Both access points for this development are reached via Old Station Way which bears the weight of street parking as an overflow from Main Street and the adjacent terraced rows. This makes visibility and access difficult at the junction and within the first 50 metres.

Objection to AD3/H

Greenbelt Land-Plan is to build on green belt land when there are alternative brown belt areas.

Natural habitats-would destroy habitats of wildlife, including the habitat of pair of breeding barn owls.

Infrastructure-School is already at capacity and is oversubscribed in some year groups. Drainage is already an issue with land constantly being boggy. Building will only compound the problem.

Traffic-Traffic in the village is already a serious issue. The Main Street has insufficient parking and verges on dangerous. Station Way junction is already congested and dangerous, with excess parking. St Paul’s Rise cannot cope with increase in traffic, particularly construction vehicles.

The proposed development would lead to disruption of a wildlife corridor, including the home of barn owls, which have occupied the same spot for over 60 years. Families of ducks also use the area, and because of the cul-de-sacs, cars tend to travel up and down the road slowly. If there was a through road, the risks to the ducks, and to road users, would increase.
It would also lead to significant safety concerns, as at present St Pauls RIse is a cul-de-sac, allowing children from a number of families to play/ride bikes in relative safety. The development, with a through road, would end this, leading to significant risk of road traffic accidents involving children.

I strongly object to building on green belt land when there are more suitable brown field sites within Bradford Council. It is an important habitat for wildlife with curlews being frequently seen in AD3/H and surrounding fields. The footpath (Hollow Lane) on the north boundary of AD3/H is important historically and important wildlife habitat (Gold Finches). The resulting housing will generate unacceptable increase commuter traffic. The proposed large number of houses will lead to destruction of hedging and the removal of trees that will have a negative impact on the visual amenity associated with the area. It will significantly change the character of the village. Concerns are raised because of previous sewage blockage and overflow particularly for St Pauls Rise and surrounding roads. Any new housing will also look over existing property and impact on their privacy - especially St Christophers, St Leonards and St Johns.

This large development will significantly add to the traffic flow into the centre of the already congested village. It is also part of a larger area of green belt which is an important habitat for many birds, and animals and links the village to the surrounding countryside on the southern boundary.
No consideration has been made for access onto the main A65 , the T junction at the east end of the village is already a very dangerous junction and increased traffic will make it even more so.

I object to the proposed removal of a green belt site in this AD3/H location for various reasons. First and foremost, Addingham is just not physically designed to sustain the additional number of houses. The infrastructure of the village is already inadequate, particularly on the main road section where streams of cars come from Bolton Abbey towards the road up St. Paul's Rise. It is too narrow for the number of additional cars that would need to go through the village to enter this new housing estate. The school doesn't currently offer the capacity for more village children, already pushed over and above the limit in a couple of yearly intakes. This would also increase the volume of children hoping to go to IGS. The removal of ancient hedgerows and the threat to wildlife is a concern, not to mention the obvious point that building on greenbelt is not welcomed.

I object VERY STRONGLY to this proposal. It can easily be seen from the map that if this site and/or site AD4/H are developed, there will inevitably be future proposals and pressure for the development of the four fields in between them and also the five fields lying to the north. It would transform the area from a rural village into a big suburban housing estate.
The removal of AD3/H and AD4/H from agricultural use would threaten the agricultural viability of the remaining fields.
The rural aspect of the southern side of the village would be lost.
There would no doubt be adverse effects on local wildlife, as the width of the village, both north-south and east-west, would be greatly increased, interrupting wildlife corridors through the area.
The traffic density through the adjoining housing estate and the village would be excessive, along with its adverse environmental effects.
